'''''Game & Watch Gallery 2''''' is the sequel to ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]'', | |||
'''''Game & Watch Gallery 2''''', known as '''''Game Boy Gallery 3''''' in Australia and '''''Game Boy Gallery 2''''' (ゲームボーイギャラリー2 ''Gēmu Bōi Gyararī 2'') in Japan, is a compilation game that was released for the [[Game Boy]] in 1997. Even though it is the sequel to ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]'', it is actually the third game in the [[Game & Watch Gallery (series)|''Game & Watch Gallery'' series]]. The game includes six revisions of [[Game & Watch]] games, one of which is not playable from the beginning and must be unlocked. Like all the other ''Game & Watch Gallery'' games, the [[minigame]]s can be played in either Classic Mode or Modern Mode; the former is identical to the original release of the minigame, while the latter has been redone with characters of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] along with updated graphics, updated gameplay, and music. ''Game & Watch Gallery 2'' was rereleased as a [[Game Boy Color]] game in Europe and Australia, as well as North America, in 1998 but not in Japan. However, on September 9, 2020, an unreleased Japanese Game Boy Color version was leaked. | |||
The game was rereleased on the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s [[Virtual Console]] in Japan in March 2012; in Europe and Australia on May 3, 2012; and in North America on May 24, 2012. | |||
==Stars== | |||
Like the previous game, ''Game & Watch Gallery 2'' features a system to unlock bonus features. As before, the player earns a star every time they score 200 [[point]]s in a mode of a minigame, being able to earn up to five stars in each mode. The more stars the player earns, the more things they unlock in the [[Gallery Corner]]. The player unlocks a very hard mode called Star Mode after they reach 1,000 points in a Modern game. The player can earn a total of 120 stars. | |||

|align="left"|''"As with the first game, Game & Watch Gallery 2 features a collection of several highly addictive score based games. There's a lot to do, and with both faithful ports and remakes being included in the same package you're sure to be entertained for a while as you attempt to earn all the stars available. And after that, maybe you can go in for seconds with the super hard difficulties."'' | |||

|8/10 | |||
|align="left"|''"Overall, I am satisfied with Game & Watch Gallery 2. I grew up playing the original Game & Watches, and have several original Nintendo Game & Watch games still in my collection. For me, playing Game & Watch Gallery 2 was a trip down memory lane, but for a whole new generation of games, it represents a returning to the simplicity of past games. There's no need to sit for that extra five or ten minutes to finish a level, or to reach that difficult to find save point. Gamers can turn off their Game Boys when they want it, making this title ideal for short trips, or for people who simply want to be entertained and not feel like they are locked into the game for a certain period of time."'' | |||

===Early box art=== | |||
[[File:GnWG2 original box.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Early North American box art]] | |||
An early print of the North American localization, released in extremely small quantities, used a different box art from that seen in later prints. In it, [[Yoshi]] has his appearance from ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', [[Princess Peach]] has a smiling expression, and [[Donkey Kong]] has his appearance from the original ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]''. The final illustration, however, depicts Yoshi in his ''[[Super Mario World]]'' appearance, Peach with a worried expression, and Donkey Kong in his appearance from the [[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Game Boy version]] of ''Donkey Kong''. | |||

*Yoshi is shown as an [[Yoshi (species)|Orange Yoshi]] in the Game Boy Color version of ''Vermin'', presumably to make him visible within the handheld's display restrictions, even though the box and manual artworks and his sprite on the Game Select screen depict him with his proper green color. Additionally, the Yoshi in ''Ball'' is a Green Yoshi on the Super Game Boy and a Light Blue Yoshi on the Game Boy Color. | |||
**Similarly, although the Yoshi seen in ''Parachute'' is an adult Green Yoshi, the manual art for that game shows a yellow Little Yoshi in Mario's boat instead. | |||
**Also, the accompanying art for ''Chef'' depicts Toad being a waiter and having his mouth water as Peach is flipping eggs and fish from a frying pan, as well as another artwork depicting Toad with a slab of meat in front of him and obviously planning on eating it, even though Toad is absent from the game itself. Additionally, Peach is shown with a chef's hat, though in the game itself she wears [[Peach's Crown|her crown]]. | |||

Game & Watch Gallery 2, known as Game Boy Gallery 3 in Australia and Game Boy Gallery 2 (ゲームボーイギャラリー2 Gēmu Bōi Gyararī 2) in Japan, is a compilation game that was released for the Game Boy in 1997. Even though it is the sequel to Game & Watch Gallery, it is actually the third game in the Game & Watch Gallery series. The game includes six revisions of Game & Watch games, one of which is not playable from the beginning and must be unlocked. Like all the other Game & Watch Gallery games, the minigames can be played in either Classic Mode or Modern Mode; the former is identical to the original release of the minigame, while the latter has been redone with characters of the Super Mario franchise along with updated graphics, updated gameplay, and music. Game & Watch Gallery 2 was rereleased as a Game Boy Color game in Europe and Australia, as well as North America, in 1998 but not in Japan. However, on September 9, 2020, an unreleased Japanese Game Boy Color version was leaked.
The game was rereleased on the Nintendo 3DS's Virtual Console in Japan in March 2012; in Europe and Australia on May 3, 2012; and in North America on May 24, 2012.
Stars[edit]
Like the previous game, Game & Watch Gallery 2 features a system to unlock bonus features. As before, the player earns a star every time they score 200 points in a mode of a minigame, being able to earn up to five stars in each mode. The more stars the player earns, the more things they unlock in the Gallery Corner. The player unlocks a very hard mode called Star Mode after they reach 1,000 points in a Modern game. The player can earn a total of 120 stars.
Games[edit]
- Parachute – Mario must catch Toads, Yoshis, and Donkey Kong Jrs. in his rowboat as they float down with their parachutes.
- Helmet – Mario or Wario must dodge various falling tools and collect coins.
- Chef – Peach must flip cooking items thrown into the air by the Mario Bros. with a pan and feed them to Yoshi. In Classic Mode, a chef needs to catch food items in his pan, or a mouse will grab them.
- Vermin – A Yoshi must protect six eggs from Fly Guys, Para Troopas, and Boo Buddies. In Classic Mode, the player must keep moles out of a garden.
- Donkey Kong – A remake of the Game & Watch version, in which Peach substitutes for Pauline.
- Ball (unlockable) – The player must control a Yoshi, Mario, Wario, or King Koopa as they juggle various objects. In Classic Mode, the player needs to juggle balls as long as they can.

Release | Reviewer, Publication | Score | Comment |
Nintendo 3DS | Marcel van Duyn, Nintendo Life | 8/10 | "As with the first game, Game & Watch Gallery 2 features a collection of several highly addictive score based games. There's a lot to do, and with both faithful ports and remakes being included in the same package you're sure to be entertained for a while as you attempt to earn all the stars available. And after that, maybe you can go in for seconds with the super hard difficulties." |
Game Boy Color | Dexter Sy, IGN | 8/10 | "Overall, I am satisfied with Game & Watch Gallery 2. I grew up playing the original Game & Watches, and have several original Nintendo Game & Watch games still in my collection. For me, playing Game & Watch Gallery 2 was a trip down memory lane, but for a whole new generation of games, it represents a returning to the simplicity of past games. There's no need to sit for that extra five or ten minutes to finish a level, or to reach that difficult to find save point. Gamers can turn off their Game Boys when they want it, making this title ideal for short trips, or for people who simply want to be entertained and not feel like they are locked into the game for a certain period of time." |

Pre-release and unused content[edit]
Early box art[edit]
An early print of the North American localization, released in extremely small quantities, used a different box art from that seen in later prints. In it, Yoshi has his appearance from Yoshi's Story, Princess Peach has a smiling expression, and Donkey Kong has his appearance from the original Donkey Kong. The final illustration, however, depicts Yoshi in his Super Mario World appearance, Peach with a worried expression, and Donkey Kong in his appearance from the Game Boy version of Donkey Kong.
Unused data[edit]
This content was found in the game's files, but part of it is available only through cheat codes.
Gallery Corner[edit]
Unused BGM font from the Message Board
Helmet[edit]
Ball[edit]
Unused Birdo's Egg (Yoshi variant)
Miscellaneous[edit]
Art errors[edit]
- Yoshi is shown as an Orange Yoshi in the Game Boy Color version of Vermin, presumably to make him visible within the handheld's display restrictions, even though the box and manual artworks and his sprite on the Game Select screen depict him with his proper green color. Additionally, the Yoshi in Ball is a Green Yoshi on the Super Game Boy and a Light Blue Yoshi on the Game Boy Color.
- Similarly, although the Yoshi seen in Parachute is an adult Green Yoshi, the manual art for that game shows a yellow Little Yoshi in Mario's boat instead.
- Also, the accompanying art for Chef depicts Toad being a waiter and having his mouth water as Peach is flipping eggs and fish from a frying pan, as well as another artwork depicting Toad with a slab of meat in front of him and obviously planning on eating it, even though Toad is absent from the game itself. Additionally, Peach is shown with a chef's hat, though in the game itself she wears her crown.
Trivia[edit]
- Depending on what Game Boy hardware the game is played on, it displays appropriate hardware for controls when the mode for each game is selected, except for the Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Player, which display a Game Boy Color regardless.
- After the player views the staff credits once (after attaining 50 stars), they can access the credits again at any time by holding Down on in the "View the Gallery" option and pressing or . The player can also view the cast credits again by inputting the same button sequence, except they need to press Up on .
- In the Game Boy Color version, the pause/Game Over menu's colors vary depending on the game/version. The border can also be changed by pressing . These are the possible color pairs:
- Parachute – Blue and white for Modern and Classic versions
- Helmet – Black and orange (Area 1), grayish blue and white (Area 2), red and white (Area 3) in Modern version; orange and black in Classic version

- This was the first handheld game featuring Super Mario characters that had its North American manual printed in full color. The manuals for Nintendo-published games on the Game Boy prior to fall 1998 were printed using two-tone spot color palettes, using black and red inks for all games released through 1995, and black and white with green, blue, or purple used for the background and selected other elements from 1996 to 1998.
